Evan offers some rooms in a home stay. He himself lives nearby. The room we had was big and very clean, also there was a safe and a fridge in the room. The bathroom was basic but ok, we had even warm water. We had a great time in bangkok, and the room was around 10 min walking from the metro. As you have to take a taxi or boat from the end of the metro line you need around 30 min to get to the old city. But bangkok is big and busy - so i guess 30 min for them isnt a long time to get from one point to the other.

We can absolutely recommend evans place for travellers on a budget!
